Jansen Crafters has the capacity to produce 50,000 oak shelves per year and is currently selling
44,000 shelves for $32 each. Cutrate Furniture approached Jansen about buying 1,200 shelves for bookcases it is building and is willing to pay $26 for each shelf. No packaging will be required for the bulk order. Jansen usually packages shelves for Home Depot at a price of $1.50 per shell. The $1.50 per-shelf cost is included in the unit variable cost of $27, with annual fixed costs of $320.000. However, the $130 packaging cost will not apply in this case. The fixed costs will be unaffected by the special order and the company has the capacity to accept the order. Based on this information, what would be the profit if Jansen accepts the special order?
A. Profits will decrease by $1,200.
B. Profits will increase by $31,200.
C. Profits will increase by $600.
D. Profits will increase by $7,200.

- Shelby Industries has a capacity to produce 45.000 oak shelves per year and is currently selling 40,000 shelves for $32 each. Martin Hardwoods has approached Shelby about buying 1,200 shelves for a new project and is willing to pay $26 each. The shelves can be packaged in bulk; this saves Shelby $1.50 per shelf compared to the normal packaging cost. Shelves have a unit variable cost of $27 with fixed costs of $350,000. Because the shelves dont require packaging, the unit variable costs for the special order will drop from $27 per shelf to $25.50 per shelf. Shelby has enough idle capacity to accept the contract. What is the minimum price per shelf that Shelby should accept for this special order?arrow_forwardThis year, Hassell Company will ship 4,000,000 pounds of chocolates to customers with total order-filling costs of 900,000. There are two types of customers: those who order 50,000 pound lots (small customers) and those who order 250,000 pound lots (large customers). Each customer category is responsible for buying 1,500,000 pounds. The selling price per pound is 2 per lb for the 50,000 pound lot and 3 per lb for the larger lots, due to differences in the type of chocolate. ABC would likely assign order-filling costs to the customer type as follows: a. 450,000, small; 450,000, large (using pounds as the driver) b. 360,000, small; 540,000, large (using revenue as the driver) c. 750,000, small; 150,000, large (using number of orders as the driver) d. 450,000, small; 450,000, large (using customer type as the driver)arrow_forwardOttis, Inc., uses 640,000 plastic housing units each year in its production of paper shredders.

Compute the economic order quantity. 2. Compute the ordering, carrying, and total costs for the EOQ. 3. How much money does using the EOQ policy save the company over the policy of purchasing 4,000 plastic housing units per order?arrow_forward
- Dimitri Designs has capacity to produce 30,000 desk chairs per year and is currently selling all 30,000 for $240 each. Country Enterprises has approached Dimitri to buy 800 chairs for $210 each. Dimitris normal variable cost is $165 per chair, including $50 per unit in direct labor per chair. Dimitri can produce the special order on an overtime shift, which means that direct labor would be paid overtime at 150% of the normal pay rate. The annual fixed costs will be unaffected by the special order and the contract will not disrupt any of Dimitris other operations. What will be the impact on profits of accepting the order?arrow_forwardCountry Diner currently makes cookies for its boxed lunches. It uses 40,000 cookies annually in the production of the boxed lunches. The costs to make the cookies are: A potential supplier has offered to sell Country Diner the cookies for $0.85 each.

Kaune sold 150,000 cases last year to the following three classes of customer: The supermarkets require special labeling on each can costing 0.04 per can. They order through electronic data interchange (EDI), which costs Kaune about 61,000 annually in operating expenses and depreciation. Kaune delivers the nuts to the stores and stocks them on the shelves. This distribution costs 45,000 per year. The small grocers order in smaller lots that require special picking and packing in the factory; the special handling adds 25 to the cost of each case sold. Sales commissions to the independent jobbers who sell Kaune products to the grocers average 8 percent of sales. Bad debts expense amounts to 9 percent of sales. Convenience stores also require special handling that costs 30 per case. In addition, Kaune is required to co-pay advertising costs with the convenience stores at a cost of 15,000 per year. Frequent stops are made to each convenience store by Kaune delivery trucks at a cost of 30,000 per year. Required: 1. Calculate the total cost per case for each of the three customer classes. (Round unit costs to four significant digits.) 2. Using the costs from Requirement 1, calculate the profit per case per customer class. Does the cost analysis support the charging of different prices? Why or why not? 3. What if Kaune charged the average price per case to all customer classes? How would that affect the profit percentages?arrow_forward
- Garrison Boutique, a small novelty store, just spent $4,000 on a new software program that will help in organizing its inventory. Due to the steep learning curve required to use the new software, Garrison must decide between hiring two part-time college students or one full-time employee. Each college student would work 20 hours per week, and would earn $1 S per hour. The full-time employee would work 40 hours per week and would earn $15 per hour plus the equivalent of $2 per hour in benefits. Employees are given two polo shirts to wear as their uniform. The polo-shirts cost Garrison $10 each. What are the relevant costs, relevant revenues, sunk costs, and opportunity costs for Garrison?arrow_forwardReubens Deli currently makes rolls for deli sandwiches it produces.
